ATI video card problems. Reballed 2 times.

My ATI videocard has been overheated. I reballed it 2 times. it's life was extended by year and a half. Now it's mulfunctioned again. I think the 3rd reball would not solve a problem. May be I need logic board replacement. What options do I have. Is it possible to upgrade with a newer one?

Warning its a bear to swapout! You'll need to take the display off to gain access to the bottom edge where the connector is on the display. You'll need to do some searching as they are hard to find. The other option which is what I do is use a fine emery board and file down the edge of the cable connector. This is also not easy! but a lot easier. It only takes a 1/10 of a MM on each side to fix.
